Last-mile delivery hubs are the lifeline of modern logistics, but their high energy usage and operational intensity make them prime candidates for smarter energy management. By integrating IoT sensors and real-time utility monitoring, these facilities can track electricity, fuel, and equipment performance with precision. This data-driven approach unlocks a new level of efficiency, enabling operators to respond instantly to demand spikes, equipment failures, or energy waste.
As fleets transition to electric vehicles (EVs), energy use patterns shift significantly. Real-time monitoring empowers facility managers to:
Avoid peak-rate charging by dynamically adjusting charge schedules
Prevent overloading circuits by balancing simultaneous charging sessions
Gain granular visibility into EV energy consumption for each vehicle
This proactive management can reduce utility bills by 10–20%, while extending battery life and improving grid reliability.
Many regions now require that 50% of parking spaces at new logistics centers be EV-ready. This adds complexity to infrastructure planning. Real-time utility data helps delivery hubs:
Monitor baseline and forecasted demand for EV charging
Plan capacity upgrades based on usage trends
Ensure compliance with new sustainability and construction codes
By embedding energy data into EV infrastructure planning, facilities can scale smartly and remain future-proof.
Delivery hubs operate 24/7, making even small inefficiencies costly. Real-time analytics offer insights to:
Detect abnormal usage patterns in HVAC, lighting, and refrigeration
Schedule maintenance before failures occur
Benchmark performance across multiple locations
These improvements lead to lower operational costs and better uptime, especially when integrated with a broader facility management system.
GLP leveraged Rhino's real-time monitoring to optimize operations across its logistics portfolio. The system provided visibility into tenant consumption, identified waste, and informed EV rollout plans. The result: greater tenant satisfaction, lower costs, and a scalable foundation for sustainability.
